Collecting collections

When I was younger, I loved collections. I enjoyed seeing pieces of a franchise form a unity together. To this day, I still try to add pieces to my collection.

The Economic Crisis

The economic crisis was the biggest bottleneck: it's not something I can solve on my own, and most people are okay with living with the crisis. Everything is 10 times the price it used to be, which is making it way harder for me to get more pieces for my collection.

Why not buy second-hand?

Well, here's the thing: I like all the pieces of my collection to be as pristine as possible. Also, I had a bad second-hand buying experience before. No thanks, I'll pass.

Some second-hand versions look to be in okay condition, but there's no guarantee here.

Why not buy from a thrift store?

Again, same thing: I like all the pieces of my collection to be as pristine as possible. There's not many thrift stores in where I live, so that's also not an option.
